C G/B
Just before our love got lost you said
Am7 (2)
"I am as constant as a northern star"
Dm

And I said, "Constant in the darkness
G/B (½)
Where's that at?
Am7 (½) G (2)
If you want me I'll be in the bar"
C
G/B
On the back of a cartoon coaster
Am7 (2)
In the blue TV screen light
Dm C
I drew a map of Canada
C (1 beat) C/B (1 beat) Am7 (2)
Oh Ca - na - da
Dm (½) C (½) G/B
With your face sketched on it twice
Chorus:
F Em
Oh, you’re in my blood like holy wine
Dm C
You taste so bitter and so sweet
C C (1 beat) C/B (1 beat) Am7 (2)
Oh I could drink a case of you and I would
Dm (½) C (½) G/B
Still I'd be on my feet

I'd still be on my feet
C
G/B
Oh I am a lonely painter
Am7 (2)
I live in a box of paints
Dm
C
I'm frightened by the devil
G/B (½) Am7 (½) G (2)
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
C
G/B
I remember that time that you told me, you said
Am7
"Love is touching souls" Surely you touched mine
Dm C
’Cause part of you pours out of me
G/B (½) Am7 (½) G (2)
In these lines from time to time
Chorus
C G/B
I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours
Am7
(2)
She knew your life, she knew your devils and your deeds and she said
Dm C
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
G/B (½) Am7 (½) G (2)
But be prepared to bleed"
Chorus
